Another fire at Detroit's Heidelberg Project destroys the 'Penny House'

DETROIT- Another fire struck the Heidelberg Project, the latest in a recent string of suspected arsons at the internationally renowned art project.

The "Penny House" at Mount Elliot and Elba was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived at 3 a.m. this morning, according to WDIV.

The firefighters at the scene did not have enough water pressure to put out the flames, according to Heidelberg Project officials. The house was completely destroyed in the fire. All that remains is the chain-link fence that surrounded the house with a few pieces of creator Tyree Guyton's art still attached.

At 5:30 a.m., after fire crews left, Guyton walked around the wreckage of the "Penny House" searching for anything salvageable.

This is the fourth suspected arson in five months, with two more attempts. The "Penny House" was one of those attempts. In a press conference Nov. 12, The Heidelberg Project revealed both the gift shop and the Penny House had small fire damage from attempted arsons.

Last week, the "House of Soul" house, a two-story abandoned home decorated with hundreds of records fastened to the exterior, was burned to the ground in a suspicious fire.
